OEM A-pillar is off. I put a dab of black silicone on the back of the gauges, per Jason's advice. Once dry I will install the pillar and maybe wire one of the gauges up

How hard is it to pull the pillar off? I read you might break some tabs that hold it on in he process and it wont fit correctly afterwards.

Ha! I was going to make a disclaimer about garage being a mess

I bought a new hose for the reel, just havent got around to installing it. If you look close there is an extension hose attached to the one on the reel. That one should be hanging back up on its hook, but im lazy sometimes.

then take a long (quite long) nose pliers and twist the plastic tab. it's there so when the airbag deploys the finisher dont it ur face.

twist (inside red box 90 degrees).
